So you've just pulled it out of thin air. What I figured. It's just victim blaming through misogynistic prejudices.

So you've just pulled it out of thin air. What I figured. It's just victim blaming through misogynistic prejudices.
Personal observation is not 'pulling it out of thin air'.
And I did the opposite of victim blaming. I stated that even a woman's consent does not absolve men of responsibility for women suffering poor outcomes as a result of the interaction.
You mischaracterized my comment to an extreme degree, without even bothering to understand, let alone contend with, the points raised.
Attitudes like this are not conducive to constructively discussing complex social issues. They lead to the forwarding of certain propositions being avoided, out of a fear of eliciting exactly the kind of response you provided, which increases the possibility that society will settle on a faulty model of the situation, and thereby not institute changes that improve it.
Sorry, but what a pathetic tone policing reply to blatant misogynistic garbage about women being inherently "more emotional", "We've tried the 'rawr girl power", and so on. You're just wrong and clearly not worth the energy.
Being held to account for your false accusations is not "tone policing", so please stop gaslighting.
I didn't write that women are "more emotional". I wrote they are generally "more emotionally vulnerable".
It's irresponsible to make extremely harsh accusations against someone when the analysis that the accusation is based on is sloppy and low-effort.
And as an aside, claiming that women are generally more emotional wouldn't be misogynistic, any more than noting that men are generally more aggressive is misandrist. There is nothing sexist about claiming general psychological differences between the sexes.
Your accusations are extreme mischaracterizations, and the basis of your dismissal of my argument is based on a weak/entirely-ideological heuristic.
